Smartphone Videography Tutorial: BEGINNER to ADVANCED

1. Joining your Patreon has been delightful. I'm so glad that I stumbled across your channel. Alas, the only drawback has been lack of sleep after poring over all of the helpful tomes you've created.

   A Question: Given all that you know, and given the characteristics of the Iphone Pro (I have a 14 Pro) — what would be your "default" settings in Filmic Pro, as well as Native? I've run up against a total beast of a workflow with Dolby HDR enabled when trying to replicate the look once I get into a Premiere Timeline. Add to that pain trying to clip match when bringing in other footage (say, Rec 709) and trying to make something seamless.

   Would you recommend filming in a Flat profile as a default, 10bit, Filmic Extreme, as a default method if the majority of my content will be filmed on my Iphone? I have a DJI OSMO 6 and Filmic integrates with it.

   But I like the Cinematic Mode of the Iphone for its Depth of Field for Static Interview Situations. I can't select a flat profile on the Native Phone App. It would seem to make sense to not shoot in HDR, but 4K/24 (maybe PRO RES?)

   Trying to work smart on settings to forgo any surprises in Premiere…

   Last, do you have the ability to take additional tips beyond your $5 Patreon, or "up" the level of giving that one might do? I'd like to give a more "tangible" form of a thank you — you are truly a master craftsman.

2. Thank you so much sir for sharing your knowlegde. Specially for those freshman in this field just like me.
   I plan to make vlogs sooner, and again thank you very much for your wonderfull educational and informative video. God bless,

3. What an amazing video. Helped me a ton as a beginner. Thanks!

4. I've been using the S21 Ultra since it released. Hands down, bar none, the best and my favorite phone ever. I'm still very impressed with its camera capabilities.

5. OK number one

6. Sadly using a RODE video micro microphone isn't good when trying it on the Samsung S20 plus 5G as 1st you require a DAS Samsung USB C to 3.5mm adapter and a RODE cable but the phone really screws the audio as it cancels out all the ambient noise making the audio sound weird. No way to adjust the audio settings at all.

   Its a shame really as the S20 does excellent video but no real usable audio if using an alternative external microphone.

7. Excellent reviews average consumer mind not a film make or else they would have changed the entire senario

8. Unintentional ASMR. Great information.

9. Thanks, single, professional and excellent explanation

10. Once again Simon, another amazing YouTube video! I thoroughly enjoy your videos! I’m a beginner and have just bought myself a Dji OM 4 SE gimbal and I’m constantly watching and replaying your videos to get practice and inspiration. Keep up the fantastic work! I’m always looking forward to more videos from you. Do you have any videos on how to set up good microphone set ups on your gimbal with your iPhone? Thanks

20. Hi great video. But I have a sight problem I connect the Samsung S21 to the TV using a c-type and HDMI cable. It works in camera mode, but I can't hide or toggle the controls. The controls also appear on the tV. Trying to use this at our church with my s21 as a video camera. Is there a way to hide or toggle the controls in camera mode so they don't display on the screen? Thanks

21. Thank for sharing Simon, that's was very helpful!

22. TQ dear brother
